Yeah, stylistically, I don't agree with the choice. I don't know if the Animal Man Annual art was trying trying to fit with Foreman and Pugh did, but I can't see it being applied to Red Hood. Rocafort is a terribly hard act to follow.

I think Marcus To would be awesome on Red Hood. He said he likes drawing Robins and about a month ago on Tumblr he said he wouldn't mind taking up Red Hood. I wish we could convince Lobdell and DC he would be the perfect replacement for Rocafort.
